Wait… What’s Next? is the podcast that feels like running into two friends at your favorite coffee spot, except the conversation goes places most people are too polished to go. We’re talking career pivots you didn’t plan, relationships that changed you, and the version of yourself you’re still figuring out, all with a cafecito in hand and zero judgment.
Hosted by Laura Alba, a Colombian-born marketing professional who built her life from scratch after moving to the U.S. at 15, and Amanda Brilhante, a former national news anchor turned event host, two women who’ve navigated more than a few “wait… what now?” moments of their own.
Every week, they pull up a seat either to talk through their own in-between moments or alongside guests who’ve shaped their paths through real transitions in career, relationships, health, and identity. They dare to have the honest conversations you wish someone had with you sooner, getting real without the filter.
Join us every week. New episodes drop on Thursdays.
Come for the deep talks, the occasional gossip, and the safe space where you’ll feel a sense of belonging and leave with a little more clarity, at the very least, in your heart.
Happy sips ☕

Wait... What's Next?
Spanglish State of Mind: Bicultural, Brave & a Bit Delusional

What happens when you grow up with a foot in two worlds? One where every goodbye lasts 45 minutes and everyone eats until the last guest leaves, and another where a wave or handshake does the trick?
This week, Laura & Leni dive into the beautiful chaos of culture shock. A tell-all about quinceañeras that last three days, American dinners that wrap by 9 PM, and the art of feeding people like it’s a love language (hi, moms 👀).
They share how growing up between cultures gives you the ultimate life advantage: connection.
Because the truth is, the more we learn about each other, our food, our family traditions, our ways of showing love, the more we understand the world.
This episode is a celebration of being multicultural, multilingual, and multi-layered.
So come for the laughs, stay for the nostalgia, and leave feeling a little more connected to the people around you (and probably craving your mom’s arroz con pollo).
